Deliciously digestible dairy

No one should have to miss out on the creamy goodness of dairy. That’s why we’ve been creating our delicious lactose free dairy products for Australians since 1996. Our range of milk, cheese and yoghurt means everyone can enjoy the dairy they love with the nutrition of regular milk.

How it works

Liddells products are all made from real dairy but we add the lactase enzyme to break down the lactose into two simple sugars: glucose and galactose. These sugars can be easily absorbed in the small intestine, keeping your tummy feeling happy. That’s all it is!

Dairy for everyone

Our products are great for anyone wanting to live a lactose free life. Because we use cow’s milk, you still get the delicious flavour and nutritional benefits you normally would without any side effects.

Lactose intolerance explained

Sometimes, regular dairy just doesn’t agree with your digestive system. You might feel bloated or uncomfortable after having it. It’s likely due to lactose—the carbohydrate naturally found in milk. Normally, our bodies produce an enzyme called lactase, which helps to digest it. If you have insufficient levels, you won’t be able to digest milk sugars properly. And that’s where Liddells comes in.

Slightly sweet

Lactose is a naturally occurring sugar carbohydrate in milk. In our products, the lactose isn’t removed but rather broken down into two simple sugars. This makes it taste sweeter but doesn’t change the sugar content. You might like to add Liddells milk to your coffee instead of a teaspoon of sugar.

Our product range

Does the taste of real dairy seem like a distant memory? It doesn’t have to be thanks to our range of milk, cheese and yoghurt.

FODMAP friendly

But what are FODMAPs?

FODMAPs are a group of short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols found naturally in foods or as additives. FODMAPs can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine, which can cause irritable bowel type symptoms. Choosing to follow a low FODMAP diet can help to avoid this.

Breaking it down

FODMAP is an acronym for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. Lactose falls under the disaccharides category. Luckily, just because you are intolerant to one FODMAP, it does not mean you will be affected by all. It is recommended you consult a FODMAP expert dietitian before starting a low FODMAP diet.
